max vg and ohms???

[Dan27]

I am kinda new to vaping over the holidays I bought some max vg liquids on sale and getting burnt taste and sees to having wicking issues on both my kanger and triton tanks they both have 1.3or so coils (as I am still a mouth to lung smoker )will going to a sub ohm coil relieve this problem any other ideas or thoughts I have no interest in rda and don't want to waste all this e juice

Any "tank" delivery device is going to have issues with adequate wicking with the thicker Vg e-liquids. That's just the way it works. Tanks need a more balanced blend of Pg and Vg to function properly. Just my

It isn't the ohms. Ohm are a measurement of resistance to electricity.

High VG juice has more demanding wicking. The thicker fluid affects how well it wicks. It also doesn't "flow" as well through smaller wicking channels.

You didn't say what tank or RDA you were using, but that is the likely problem.

You don't have to waste the juice. Just pick up some PG (propylene glycol) and thin out the juice with that. I'd say try 25% PG to 75% of your juice... that should thin it out enough that it will wick in your tanks.

Like the above posters said, thin out your liquids just a bit. Most "MAX VG" solutions are mixed in 80VG/20PG or 90VG/10PG ratios. For tanks like the Triton, 80/20 ratios should work (although I wouldn't do it very often), but you'll need to sacrifice airflow (by closing the airflow down a bit) to get them to wick properly - since the Triton is a sub-ohm tank, try the .5ohm coil head too. Airflow is crucial because like most tanks (or all of them) work on a vacuum (push / pull) system. The higher the vacuum is in the tank, the faster it wicks - or floods - if the heat isn't present to vaporize the liquid going into the vaporization chamber. The problem with higher resistance coils (1.0ohms +) is that they heat up REALLY fast. So if the juice isn't there to be vaporized, it will burn the wick inside the coils. Same thing with the Kanger tanks. If you want a pretty good vape, try staying away from "MAX VG" liquids until you get an RDA. Because the liquid at that point, should be making direct contact with your coils. Burnt hits wont be a problem as much when you get a dripper and use "MAX VG".

From personal experience -
100%VG is for cloud chasing and should not even be considered for use outside of anything BUT cloud chasing - unless you have an extreme PG allergy / sensitivity.

90VG / 10PG are not so good for sub ohm tanks and great for dripping.

80VG / 20PG are ok for sub ohm tanks and good for dripping.

70VG / 30PG are great for sub ohm tanks and dripping.

60VG / 40PG are good for sub ohm tanks and dripping.

50VG / 50PG are ok for sub ohm tanks, tootle puffing, and most starter tanks - not so great for dripping or if you have a PG allergy / sensitivity.

40VG and LOWER - are unknown to me since anything @ 50PG and higher are painful for me to even get near.
